What is discrete manufacturing and REM?

Hello All,
What is discrete manufacturing and REM?
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi ketan,
-Discrete manufaturing is  Lot based production system, Porduction order is cretaed for Every Lot and order based confirmation & Cost control is carried out.
-Repetative manufacturing is period based production system, production order concept will not work, so period based confirmation & cost control is carried out.
Below points helps to underdstand the difference between them.
- A typical characteristic of discrete manufacturing is the frequent switching from one manufactured product to another. The products are typically manufactured in individually defined lots, the sequence of work centers through production varying for each one of these. Costs are calculated on the basis of orders and individual lots.
- In Repetitive Manufacturing, products remain unchanged over a longer period and are not manufactured in individually defined lots. Instead, a total quantity is produced over a certain period at a certain rate.
- Discrete manufacturing typically involves varying the sequence of work centers through which the products can pass during production. The order of work centers is determined in routings, which can often be very complex. There can be waiting times between the individual work centers. Also, semi-finished products are frequently placed in interim storage prior to further processing.
- Repetitive Manufacturing, on the other hand, normally involves a relatively constant flow on production lines. Semi-finished products are usually processed further immediately without being put in interim storage. Routings tend to be relatively simple.
I hope u have understood if yes please reward and close the thread.

  • What is Discrete Mfg and MTO,MTS

    Hi Gurus,
    Can any one tell What is discrete mfg. And what is MTO and MTS in Discrete Mfg.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Discrete Manufacturing pertains to industry which frequently switches the manufactured products for eg: Speciality Electrical products, Heavy engineering products(Pressure vessels, Fermentors etc), Computer assembly etc. So every product you make in discrete manufacturing industry will have different components, work centers, routings etc. This is in contrast to repetitive / process industry where the product configuration and process remain fairly constant over a period of time.
    MTO (Make to Order):
    In make-to-order production (strategy 20), every sales order is planned individually and managed in its own segment in the MRP list or the current stock/requirements list.
    The system does not perform a net requirements calculation between individual sales orders or with the anonymous  warehouse stock.
    The lot-for-lot order quantity is used as the default setting for the lot-sizing procedure, regardless of the entry you have made in the material master record. You define the lot-sizing procedure for make-to-order production in Customizing for MRP in the workstep "Checking the lot-sizing procedure" in the field "Lot-size calculation for MTO production".   Depending on the setting of the lot-size indicator in the material master record, you can define a different lot size for make-to-order production from the one used in make-to-stock production. 
    MTO (Make to Stock):
    The demand program is defined without reference to sales orders.
    Sales orders are not relevant to MRP, but can be displayed for information purposes. You make this setting in the "No MRP" field in Customizing for the appropriate requirements class (workstep, "Defining Requirements Classes" in Customizing for SD).
    Sales orders are covered by warehouse stock. In Sales and Distribution, you can carry out the availability check according to ATP logic. Material withdrawals for a sales order reduce this sales order's quantity.
    The consumption of the demand program (that is of the planned independent requirements) is carried out at goods issue (the indicator "PIR reduction" in Customizing of the requirements class 30 must be set if you want to reduce the demand program when delivering to a sales order). The oldest planned independent requirement is reduced first according to the FIFO (first-in-first-out) principle using the requirement date. Future planned independent requirements are also reduced by goods issues, if allowed by the consumption mode and the forward consumption period.

  • Confirmation Number in Discrete Manufacturing and Repetetitve manufacturing

    Hi All,
         In discrete in manufacturing when ever you create a production order a confirmation number will be automatically created in the system. How to see this confirmation No for a particular production order.
        In repetitive manufacturing we can backflush with respect to planned order and even if we don't have the planned order you can backflush in this case how we will be knowing confirmation No. in advance if the backflushing is w.r.t planned order.
    Thanks and Regards
    Ramana

    Hi,
      Once the Production Order is created, you can see the Confirmation no. for each operation(Confirmation no. is unique for an operation and not for the order) in Production Order-> Operation details. As mentioned by other experts, you can also get the same from AFRU table and COOIS report.
    You create a Production order and check the same for the above.

  • MTO Discrete Manufacturing with multiple plants and sub-contracting

    Dear PP Gurus,
                           I am facing a problem, pl. help me out.
    My Scenario is as follows:
    I am having 4 plants with Make-To-Order Discrete Manufacturing scenarieo .
    Suppose to manufacture a particular Product , there are 10 operations.The first 4 operations are carried out in Plant A, 5th and 6th carried out in Plant B, Operations 7 is Sub-contracted to a Vendor. After the job-work from Vendor, the job returns back to Plant A and the remaining operations are carried out in Plant A.
    The whole scenario has to be mapped into SAP. Please guide me from the very beginning( Masterdata maintenance). Also, what shud be the MRP( Single-item multilevel or anything else)
    Your help is highly required by me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Soumyendu

    Hi Sadhukhan,
    For external processing in different company code, u need to specify PP02 in the routing for external vendor. In PP02 control key indicator must be set in external opn. Before that create purchase info record. Enter subcontract info record in routing. After running MRP , convert the PR to PO. Send the material by MB1B by 541 mvt. Receive the material by MIGO by 101 mvt.
    Reward if useful.

    Basic difference is in REM, a same product will be manufactured for a long period of time...
    In discrete,the products will vary frequently....
    REM:prodcut dont change frequently
    components are staged at lines periodically
    Backflushing
    COst control is period based
    Discrete:Product chane freq
    COmponents are issued with ref to order
    COnfirmation
    COst control is order based,

    <u><i><b>Steps for SD Variant Configuration</b></i></u>
    Some light on Variant Configuration in Detail.
    The procedure is as follows:
    1. Create a Material - KMAT type with Item category (002)
    2. Create Charateristics in CT04 - Zbike, where in values mention the Color of the bile like Red, Blue etc
    3. Create another characteristics in CT04 - ZPrice, where directly go the additional data tab and maintain the table SDCOM and field VKOND (ABAP Dictionary it will ask for)
    4. Assign these two characteristics to a Class in CL01 - ZBikeclass ( Type 300) in characteristics tab page.
    5. Then go to CU41 Configuration profile select the material and enter the description click on the class assignment ie assign Zbikclass.
    Now go back to CT04 - enter Zbike -go to values- select Red- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Select Procedure enter in front 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Red' and save
    6. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
    7. Now select Blue- go to extras - Other Dependencies - Editor - Select Procedure enter in front of 10 write - $self.ZPrice='Blue' and save
    8. Now go back go to extras - Other Dependencies - assignments and assign relationship ( by default it will come just save)
    9. Now go to VK11 - Enter VA00 (Condition)(For Std RVA001 Pricing Procedure) - enter variant Red and Blue give the rates accordingly and create the sales order.

  • Repetitive Manufacturing and Run Schedule Header

    Dears,
    Could you Please Explain to me the  Process of Repetitive Manufacturing after run MRP and get  planned orders for RS
    What happend after that  , how to deal with planned orders and and how to create Run schedule Header
    Please note that i'm aware about no need to create RSH just product cost collector
    Regards
    Rami

    Dear Rami,
    As explained by our forum members the concept of creating RS header is more valid and not required,configuring a REM profile in
    OSP2 and assigning the same in the material master and REM allowed setting in MRP4 view and in the production version and
    scheduling parameters in OPU5 for order type PE is sufficient.
    If you want more explanation regarding the same means please revert.

  • Kanban for finished goods (discrete manufacturing)

    Hi gurus,
    I am using kanban for finished goods(with MRP) to triggers production order(discrete manufacturing). If i set the status "empty" system is creating a planned order directly. It is not coming for MRP run. I suppose, that planned order should be created through MRP run(since i am using kanban with MRP). Can you please tell what settings i need to be checked?
    Regards
    Rajib Pathak

    Hi,
    Pls. find details about settings for KANBAN With MRP:
    KANBAN With MRP
    Prerequisites
    In this process, the storage location assigned to the supply area is not excluded from MRP.
    If a material is planned and procured with MRP, you must make the following settings:
    You must maintain a valid MRP type for the material. This means, the setting "ND" (No planning) is not allowed.
    You must maintain all other control parameters required for MRP for the material.
    You must maintain a repetitive manufacturing profile (in the MRP data screen) for replenishment strategies with a cost collector (in-house production with run schedule quantities, manual KANBAN). In the SAP standard system, a profile is available that is specially intended for KANBAN, that is, using this profile, the system creates a cost collector without a run schedule header.
    Features
    Here, the total production quantity or the procurement quantities of a certain period are planned in the planning run and the replenishment elements are also created in the planning run. For in-house production, you can use either Repetitive Manufacturing or production orders to plan the production quantities per period. For external procurement, all the standard replenishment elements are available. The replenishment elements created in the planning run, however, are not intended to trigger production or replenishment directly. Instead, they exist to provide the supply source with a preview. Actual production and material flow are controlled and triggered by setting the kanban to FULL and EMPTY. Backflushes and goods receipts are posted with no reference to the kanban. This means that you can backflush daily quantities, for example.
    In this procedure, the following is valid for materials with BOMs:
    Components that are used in KANBAN materials can be planned using any one of the MRP procedures. However, the system has to be organized so that the supply source does not produce the material for the replenishment element created in MRP immediately but awaits the kanban request.
    As the system creates preview data in the procedure with MRP, it is particularly useful for replenishment with run schedule quantities (Repetitive Manufacturing) and scheduling agreement releases.
    HOpe this helps.

    Tejas

  • Oracle 11i - Collection Plans (Discrete Manufacturing)

    In Oracle Quality, Collection Elements can use SQL validation code to provide a LOV for data entry into a Collection Plan.
    Collection Element values can also be determined using SQL code that includes using Token field values for data already entered into the current Collection Plan (e.g. JOB) as part of the query. However, the result of this query must be a unique value.
    Can anyone tell me if its possible to use Token fields from Collection Elements already entered into a Collection Plan as part of the validation code to display a LOV?
    I cannot see any way to do this.

  • Difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing

    Hi,
    Guru's
    What is the difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing in product costing.

    Dear Manish,
    Repetitive Manufacturing 
    In repetitive manufacturing, master plans are typically created on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and
    order-specific processing). A quantity of one product is manufactured over a certain period. The product is processed in a constant flow and interim products are generally not stocked. In repetitive manufacturing, you usually find that the effort required for production control is significantly less than is required for single lot and order-based production control and the recording of actual data is kept simpler. Repetitive manufacturing can be used for various industries, such as the
    consumer packaged goods industry, the electronic industry, packaging industry, for example.
    You can use Repetitive Manufacturing purely for make-to-stock production, or in a sales order-oriented environment, such as found in the automotive industry.
    Discrete Manufacturing
    Discrete manufacturing is characterized by requirements that occur on an irregular basis and a workshop-oriented process.
    The Discrete Manufacturing scenario can be used in different variants, production by lot size, make-to-order production and assembly processing. The variants differ mainly in the type of planning conducted before-hand and in the relation to the sales order. Production by lot size is identified by the grouping of requirements into lots during requirements planning, and by planning with existing basic data. Production by lot size is independent of a particular sales order. Make-to-order production describes the production of a material with reference to a particular sales order. The manufactured quantities are managed, in terms of stock, directly for the individual sales order. They cannot be exchanged with the stock of other sales orders. Starting from the sales order, single-item planning can be allowed as far down the bill of material (BOM) structure as you like. Assemblies and
    components can also be procured for the sales order that generates the requirements, and managed in stock for this sales order. If the product is a configurable product, the system chooses a variant for the customer based on the characteristics that he or she selects. A sales order BOM can then be generated for the sales order. This BOM is used to produce the product.
    Assembly processing is a form of make-to-order production, in which the production order (assembly order) is created together with the sales order. In assembly processing the components for the product have, in general, already been produced. They only need to be assembled. The advantage of assembly processing is that an availability check is carried out for the components when you create the sales order. This increases the reliability with which dates can be confirmed
    considerably. Changes to the sales order are automatically also made in the production order and vice-versa.
    And also you can follow the below link to know more about REPITITIVE MANUFACTURING its a pdf document from help.sap.com
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/PPREM/PPREM.pdf
    One More Example
    Repetive is usually a continuos flow, good example is making 5000 tv dinners you know how long it takes to make qty1 very little defects or fall out and you always have everything on hand to start the run, you may also make the same run 2-3 times per month so a cost collector is ok all cost go to top level.
    Discreet, You do have falls out reworks and move into production missing materials, long lead time its essential to know what and where it is at in production, cost may vary a little but each production order will be costed independantly for review.
    Best Regards
    Mir

    Analyzing both spec and body, i found that the body had 4 parameters

    Discrepancy between spec and body was the cause of the worker to fail. By adding the missing parameter i was finally able to continue with the install.
    I even checked the latest update to this patch at Metalink and still find that the above error is not fixed.
